Chapter: CHAPTER 39: ILLUSION OR A STALKER?CELINEThe cab I'd ordered arrived sooner than expected, and I entered the passenger seat and closed the door."Where to?" the driver asked, glancing back at me.I tilted my head like I was actually thinking it over — not like I knew anywhere around here at all. "Umm... take me to the club."He nodded and pulled off. For that stretch of the ride, I let myself forget everything else. No triplets, no Cassandra, no Kythan. Just me, for once. Before long, he pulled into a wide lot and parked in the garage.I paid him and stepped out. A massive building stood in front of me, thumping with bass, lit up in shifting colors. People streamed in and out — dressed to the nines, skin on display, clearly here for a good night.A smile spread across my lips as I braced myself for whatever waited inside.Just as I turned to walk in, another car swung in and parked right in front of me, and I frowned in confusion."Celineeee!" a familiar voice shrieked.I turned to see Rita sprinting toward me, and sh

Chapter: CHAPTER 38: DEFENCE CELINE I kept tossing on my bed, unable to catch any sleep no matter how hard I tried to push her out of my mind. Cassandra. What was she doing at the company? I thought she and the triplets had cut ties because of me. Had they forgiven her already? I wondered, turning over again. Only the Goddess knew how much restraint it took not to rush back to the company and demand answers. Instead, I'd come straight home. I hadn't even been in the mood to talk to the triplets before all this — so none of it should have mattered to me at all. But the smile on her face. Like she'd been invited by them. “Gosh, Celine. Do you honestly think the triplets are going to fight their best friend over you? Give it up.” I let out a scoff of disbelief at myself. ‘She can have Kythan. But Zithan and Rythan is a—’ Knock, knock. A knock at my door pulled me upright in bed, and I sat there wondering who it could be. "Come in. It's open," I called. The door opened, and my father stepped inside, his

Chapter: CHAPTER 37: NOT GIVING UP ZITHAN BLACKTHORNE (Wolf: Sylvan) "Alpha—I asked that useless errand girl to get me a coffee, and now this gossiping little friend of hers is telling me she just left the company." She nearly shouted it, though I could see her working to rein herself back in front of me. I let the word “useless” slide past without comment. Out of respect for Celine, I wasn't about to make a scene over how Tyla talked about her, not when Celine had chosen to keep us hidden. I turned to the new employee instead. "What's your name? And what exactly did Celine say before she left?" She lifted her head to meet my eyes for the first time. "My name's Rita, Alpha." Her voice was steady despite the tension in the room. "She said she wasn't feeling well before she left." ‘Sick?’ I thought. She probably couldn't stand being in this building another minute after what Kythan had said to her. "Sick?" Tyla's face twisted like she'd just heard the most absurd lie of her life. "That's ridiculous. I spoke to her

Chapter: CHAPTER 36: NOT SORRY. ZITHAN BLACKTHORNE (Wolf: Sylvan) Watching her run from us shattered my heart into pieces. Watching those tears she fought so hard not to shed. That pain was visible in her eyes, and it settled somewhere deep in my chest. I had never felt this kind of pity — this kind of pain for anyone in my entire life. What cut deepest was that the cause of it was my own brother. The same man who used to complain endlessly that the Moon Goddess owed him a mate, and now that she'd finally arrived, he was the one hurting her? What had she even done to deserve that? Was this about something deeper, resentment toward our mother for remarrying? Was he taking that out on Celine because of who her father was? But then, Kythan had always been cold, even as a kid. That was simply his nature, and I'd spent years trying every way I knew to understand him. Still — being cruel to our one and only mate was something I would not accept. Not from him. Not from anyone. “Kythan should've come into this worl

Chapter: CHAPTER 35: SUSPICIOUS CELINEI shook my head. "N-no. I don't." I didn't even know why I was stammering. "Why do you ask?""Because of the way you carry yourself," she said, coming to a stop in front of me. "The confidence in your eyes. The way you parade around Rythan. The way you were seen in Zithan's office." She leaned in and tipped my chin up with one finger. "Let me tell you something, Celine. Office romance isn't allowed here. You are not permitted anywhere near your bosses — not like that. Or I will handle you myself."It sounded less like a warning and more like a threat.“Where is all of this coming from?” My eyes narrowed in confusion."And another thing," she ignored my question, and added, tilting her head, a slow, cruel smile spreading across her face. "You should really focus on your actual job. Errand girls don't get to have opinions about who they can and can't get close to. Save yourself the embarrassment."I stared at her, saying nothing for a moment, letting her words land and pass thro

Chapter: CHAPTER 34: RUIN DAYCELINEThe moment I heard footsteps approaching behind Kythan's closed door I was already moving.I didn't run — not yet, but my feet were carrying me toward the elevator with the focused urgency of someone who had approximately thirty seconds before everything they were holding together came apart completely. My eyes were burning. My jaw was tight. The file was pressed against my chest like something I needed to protect."Celine, wait."It was Zithan's voice. I kept walking."Celine—"I pressed the elevator button and the doors opened immediately, the universe deciding to be kind for exactly one second, and I stepped inside and turned around.They were both there. Zithan and Rythan, moving toward the elevator — and the expressions on their faces were something I genuinely could not look at right now. Zithan's silver eyes were tight with something painful and careful. Rythan's jaw was set in a way I had never seen on him before — none of the lightness, none of the easy energy, just

Chapter: KAPITEL 9: TROST (R8+) CELINE Kaum hatte ich mein Zimmer betreten, ließ ich mich auf das Bett fallen und gab mich meinen Gefühlen hin. Meine Schultern zitterten heftig. Egal, wie oft ich mir auch sagte, dass ich diese Worte – „wolfslos, unattraktiv“ – schon einmal gehört hatte, sie spielten sich immer wieder in meiner Kopfschleife ab. Kythans Stimme sprach sie mit einer so kalten, klinischen Distanz aus, als würde er Tatsachen feststellen, anstatt Granaten zu zünden. Ich weinte heftiger, als ich erwartet hatte. Heftiger, als ich wollte. Ich hatte wirklich geglaubt, seine Kälte sei einfach nur Unvertrautheit – dass sich mit der Zeit, mit der Nähe, etwas mildern würde. Dass er sich ändern würde, so wie es Menschen tun, wenn sie keine Fremden mehr sind. Im Moment hasse ich ihn. Langsam, vollkommen, mit allem, was ich habe. Klopf. Klopf. Ich richtete meinen tränengefüllten Blick auf die Tür und richtete mich leicht auf. „Komm rein, Vater.“ Meine Stimme klang gebrochen und leise. Die Tür öff

Chapter: KAPITEL 8: KYTHANISCHE GROBHEIT CELINE Ich stand zum zehnten Mal vor dem Spiegel, strich den Rock des blauen, mit Blumen gemusterten Kleides glatt, das ich trug, und sagte mir, ich solle tief durchatmen. Es half nichts. Die Angst, die mir unter die Haut kroch, ließ sich nicht besänftigen. In etwa fünf Minuten würde ich die Treppe hinuntergehen und mir gegenüber meiner neuen Familie, meinen drei Partnern und der neuen Frau meines Vaters setzen. Was, wenn sie meinem Vater übel nahm, dass er eine Tochter hatte, von der sie nichts gewusst hatte? Was, wenn sie mich ansah und in mir ein Problem sah? Und dann war da noch dieser andere Gedanke. Der, den ich immer wieder verdrängte, der aber trotzdem immer wieder in mir auftauchte. Kythan. Die eisblauen Augen. Der kalte Blick. Würde er überhaupt herunterkommen? Würde er am selben Tisch sitzen und mich wie immer durchschauen? Ich presste meine Hand flach gegen mein Brustbein, atmete langsam aus und verließ das violette Zimmer. Ich hielt mich am Geländer f

Chapter: KAPITEL 7: MEIN LIEBLINGSESSEN CELINE Nachdem ich mir die Augen ausgeweint hatte, verlangte mein Vater keine Erklärung von mir – aber ich erzählte ihm trotzdem alles. Wie viel ich ertragen hatte. Wie ich Doland in diese Lage gebracht hatte. Jedes schreckliche Detail, das ich schon länger allein mit mir herumgetragen hatte, als ich überhaupt zählen konnte. Er verurteilte mich nicht. Er schimpfte nicht mit mir. Er hörte einfach zu – mit dieser ruhigen, geduldigen Aufmerksamkeit, von der ich vergessen hatte, dass er dazu fähig war –, und als ich fertig war, zog er mich an sich und flüsterte mir ins Haar. „Ich bin stolz auf dich, mein Mädchen. Ich bin froh, dass du dich endlich gewehrt hast.“ Danach führte er mich in ein anderes Zimmer. Das Zimmer war groß und wunderschön eingerichtet, unverkennbar feminin im Stil. An den Wänden hingen meine Lieblingsgemälde. Die Vorhänge, die Bettwäsche, die Zierkissen – alles war lila. Meine Lieblingsfarbe. Jedes winzige Detail passte genau. Er hatte dieses Zimmer vorbere

Chapter: KAPITEL 6: GEBROCHENES HERZ CELINE Die Stille war schlimmer als alles, was er hätte sagen können. Mein Vater stand am Fuß der Treppe, sein Blick wanderte langsam und bedächtig zwischen mir und Rythan hin und her – als würde er sich Zeit nehmen, um etwas zu verarbeiten, das sein Verstand sich aktiv weigerte zu akzeptieren. Himmlische Göttin, bitte – lass einfach den Boden aufbrechen und verschlinge mich sofort ganz und gar. Er sprach nicht. Er schrie nicht. Er bewegte sich nicht. Er stand einfach nur da mit diesem Ausdruck im Gesicht – dieser stillen Wut, die irgendwie zehnmal furchterregender war als Schreien. Das war nicht das Wiedersehen, das ich mir auf diesem Flug vorgestellt hatte. Nicht einmal annähernd. In meiner Vorstellung war es warm gewesen. Emotional. Er würde die Tür öffnen, mich sehen, und nach all den Jahren des Schweigens würde zwischen uns wieder alles an seinen Platz fallen. Vielleicht würde er mich umarmen. Vielleicht würde ich weinen. Vielleicht würde es sich anfühlen, als käme

Chapter: KAPITEL FÜNF: AUF FRISCHER TAT ERWISCHT CELINE Ich eilte die Treppe hinunter, meine Tasche fest an die Seite gedrückt, den Blick auf mein Handy geheftet, während ich versuchte, es wieder einzuschalten. Meine Gedanken waren noch immer benebelt, überschattet von allem, was in diesem Zimmer geschehen war. Alles, was Alpha Zithan mir mit seinen Händen und seinem Mund und dieser umwerfenden Geduld von ihm angetan hatte. Die Erinnerung tauchte immer wieder in warmen, lebhaften Blitzen auf, die ich nur sehr schlecht unterdrücken konnte. Ein wissendes Lächeln huschte über meine Lippen, bevor ich es verhindern konnte. Endlich wusste ich, wie es sich anfühlte. Gewollt zu sein, begehrt zu werden. Wie etwas Kostbares behandelt und dann so gründlich auseinandergenommen zu werden, dass der einzige zusammenhängende Laut, den man hervorbringen konnte, sein Name war. Muize hatte immer den Eindruck erweckt, Sex sei etwas Grobes, Unachtsames und schnell Vorübergehendes. Alpha Zithan hatte diese Überzeugung in einer einzigen Nacht

Chapter: KAPITEL VIER: DIE ANZIEHUNG DES PARTNERS CELINE Das Wort explodierte in meiner Brust wie etwas Greifbares. Partner! Die Anziehungskraft schlug erneut zu, doch diesmal stärker; sie kam aus drei Richtungen zugleich, als würden unsichtbare Hände in meinen Brustkorb greifen und gleichzeitig daran ziehen. Meine eigene Hand hob sich langsam, und ich zeigte nacheinander mit zitterndem Finger auf jedes Gesicht. „Eins.“ Silberne Augen. „Zwei.“ Eisblau. „Drei.“ Leuchtend grün – dann senkte ich meine Hand. „Alpha Zithan vögelt drei Leute?“, rief ich laut aus, meine Augen traten fast aus den Höhlen. Die silbernen und die grünen Augen brachen genau gleichzeitig in ein Lächeln aus. Die eisblauen blieben vollkommen, eisig still – und starrten mich mit einem Ausdruck an, der die Getränke hinter der Bar hätte einfrieren lassen können. Dieser spezielle Typ hasste mich wahrscheinlich. „Sie ist unsere Partnerin“, sagte der mit den silbernen Augen, seine Stimme tief und fragend, als würde jemand einen Traum bestätigen, an den

THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies)
“Stay by my side for the next month—like a real mate, after that, I won't disturb you.” I retorted, my heart was beating against my ribs.
His eyes darkened, “Who are you to negotiate with me?” He groaned in-between gritted teeth.
“Just one month, Adrien. I will leave your life forever.” My breath came out rough and raspy.
Adrien slowly released me, stepping away from me. My chest raised and fell with heavy breath, I let out a cough due to how hard he had held me.
“Just one month?” He asked, eyeing me suspiciously.
******
Celeste Magnus was born a princess… For three years, Alpha Adrien Orion treated her like a stranger. To him, Celeste was nothing but a manipulative woman who lied about their mate bond to trap him in marriage.
His loyalty belonged to another woman, while Celeste endured endless coldness, whispers from the pack, and a husband who never believed a single word she said.
But Celeste is done begging for love.
Pregnant and exhausted from years of humiliation, she finally asks for one thing—freedom.
One month for Adrien to help her awaken her wolf. After that, their marriage will end, and she will leave his pack forever.
Adrien agrees without hesitation. To him, divorcing the woman who deceived him should be easy.
But living under the same roof begins to reveal cracks in the story he has believed for years. The Luna he once ignored shows a strength he never noticed… and the more he watches her, the more something feels terribly wrong.
What if Celeste never lied?
What if the truth about their mate bond was hidden all along?
And when Adrien finally uncovers the secret that destroyed their marriage…
Will it already be too late to stop Celeste from walking away forever?

Chapter: Chapter 131: Happy home.Celeste.We were married simply and without excess.Words that meant what they said. Promises made by two people who understood now, really understood, with the full knowledge of what it cost to lose something and what it took to rebuild it — what they were promising. No performance, and no politics.Just Adrien's hands around mine and his eyes on my face and the particular certainty of a man who had finally arrived exactly where he was supposed to be.When it was done he leaned his forehead against mine the way he had on the balcony the night before the frontline, and for a moment neither of us spoke, and the hall around us was full of the sound of people who were genuinely, completely happy."Hi," he said quietly."Hi," I said back."We did it.""We really did.

Chapter: CHAPTER 130 — THE WEDDINGCeleste's POVThe morning of my wedding arrived quietly.No fanfare. No elaborate ceremony of preparation. Just pale gold light coming through the curtains of my room, Elona making her morning sounds from the bassinet beside my bed, and the particular stillness of a day that understood its own significance and didn't need to announce it.I lay still for a moment before getting up, listening to the sounds of the pack house waking around me — distant voices, movement in the kitchen below, the particular energy of a place that had been transformed overnight into something ready to hold something important.Then Elona made a more insistent sound, and I got up, because she had never once waited for my contemplative moments to finish and I had come to love that about her."Good morning," I told her, lifting her against my chest. She grabbed a fistful of my hair immediately with the focused determination she brought to everything. "Yes. Hello. I see you."She made a sound that I had decided

Chapter: CHAPTER 129: HOMECeleste's POV Doctor Pitt discharged us two days later. Two days of the particular suspended peace of a hospital room — Elona sleeping in the bassinet beside my bed with the absolute commitment of someone who had decided rest was her primary occupation, Adrien in the chair beside me that he had refused to vacate for more than twenty minutes at a stretch, the two of us existing in a quiet that felt fragile and precious and entirely unlike anything we had managed before. Michael visited twice a day with food he claimed the hospital kitchen couldn't be trusted to provide adequately. He held Elona with the careful reverence of someone deeply aware of being trusted with something important, and talked to her in a low, steady voice about nothing in particular, and I watched him and felt the particular warmth of knowing that this child was already loved by more people than she understood yet. Lucian came on the second morning. He appeared in the doorway while Adrien had stepped o

Chapter: CHAPTER 128— A NEW BEGINNING Celeste's POV The hospital corridor was a blur of movement and voices and the particular controlled urgency of medical staff who had been given no warning and were adapting in real time. Doctor Pitt was already waiting when we arrived. I didn't ask how he had gotten there before us, Michael must have called ahead, or Lucian, or both — but the sight of his familiar face in the doorway of the examination room settled something in me that nothing else had managed since the moment my water broke at the dinner table. He was calm the way he always was, that particular unshakeable steadiness that had gotten me through more difficult moments than I could count, and he took one look at me and immediately took charge of the room. "Alright," he said, with the brisk warmth of someone who understood that efficiency and kindness were not mutually exclusive. "Let's see what we're working with." "She's four months," Adrien said from beside me. His hand was around mine, tight and steady, and h

Chapter: CHAPTER 127: ALL AT ONCE Celeste's POV Michael was already outside when the car pulled through the pack gates. He was standing in the courtyard with his arms crossed and the particular expression he wore when he had been worried for long enough that the worry had curdled into something that looked more like irritation — jaw set, eyes scanning the approaching vehicle with an intensity that softened the moment the door opened and he saw me step out. "Finally," he said, crossing the courtyard toward me with long strides. "Do you have any idea—" He pulled me into a hug before he finished the sentence, tight and immediate, his arms wrapping around me with the careful consciousness of someone who had remembered at the last second that there was more of me to account for than usual. "I was fine," I said into his shoulder. "The healer told me where you went," he said, pulling back to look at my face with the searching thoroughness of someone taking inventory. "After she made me promise not to follow you." His

Chapter: CHAPTER 126: DEATH OF THE VILLIAN CELESTE "It wasn't about what you gave me." Her voice was quieter now, the effort of speaking becoming visible. "It was about what I couldn't have. And when I understood I could never have it — that she was always going to be the one — I chose to burn everything down rather than accept it." A pause. "That was my choice. Not yours. Not hers. Mine." He pressed his face briefly against her hair, shoulders shaking. "I'm sorry for your child," she said. "The first one. I am so sorry for that." The words seemed to cost her more than the physical wound. "And your mother. I turned her against Celeste deliberately and systematically and I knew exactly what I was doing every step of the way." A cough. Blood came with it. "I am sorry for every year I stole from you. For making you into someone you weren't. For taking something good and poisoning it from the inside." "Hazel—" His voice was barely functional. "This is how it was always going to end for me," she said softly. "After everything

Damn… she’s asking for it without saying a word.’ Davis' head was in a jumbled mess. Mrs. Gladdis held his gaze, her lips parting slightly as her chest rose and fell beneath him. ‘Yes… look at me like that. Don’t stop now.’ She moaned within. Then, with a smooth, almost reverent motion, his lips trailed down her neck to the curve of her collarbone. Her soft gasp encouraged him, and he took his time, memorizing the warmth, the slight tremble beneath his lips. ‘It’s been so long… I almost forgot how this feels,’ she thought, her fingers slowly sliding into his hair, holding him there. His hands moved higher, cupping her breasts lightly, thumbs brushing over her hardened nipples. She arched into his touch, a low moan slipping past her lips. “Davis…” she whispered, breathless, and he felt her pulse against his chest. ‘She’s mine tonight,

The door slammed behind her, and he frowned, curiosity flickering for a second.‘Where is she going in such a hurry?’ He questioned.But he pushed the thought aside. It wasn’t his business. He leaned back into the chair, legs stretched, and continued munching on his snack, letting the tension from the mansion fade as he waited.The soft sound of heels on the stairs drew his attention.She walked down slowly, fully dressed, her eyes widening slightly when she saw him sitting there. She paused, a small gasp in her throat, before stepping forward and tapping his shoulder.“Hey.” Lilico’s voice was soft, polite, but tinged with surprise.Davis turned and smiled. “Lilico.” He stood, waving lightly.Lilico glanced around, brows furrowed. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” she asked, because had never shown up unannounced before.“I tried calling,” he said, sinking b

Chapter: CHAPTER 41: UNEASE FEELINGIvana remained standing for a moment, her gaze drifting down to the bottle lying on the floor. It had rolled slightly earlier and now rested near the leg of the bed, its white surface almost too innocent for what it carried.A strange uneasiness settled in her chest again, and for a brief second, she considered picking it up… but she didn’t.Instead, she turned away from it completely, as though distancing herself from the choice it represented.Right now, she had something far more urgent to deal with.Without wasting another second, she reached for her phone and quickly dialed the number she had memorized from Tardrain’s phone earlier. Her fingers moved fast, almost instinctively, as if her mind had already made the decision long before now. The line rang for a while.No answer.Ivana pressed her lips together, her impatience creeping in as she pulled the phone slightly away from her ear, staring at the screen for a second before dialing again.Her fingers tapped lightly against her

She couldn’t afford to lose that now.What she didn’t understand was why everything had suddenly become so urgent. The agreement had been clear from the beginning—one year.So why this pressure now, and Why this sudden desperation?“Why are you silent?” Lilico asked, her eyes fixed on Ivana with an intensity that made it impossible to avoid the question.Ivana blinked, snapping out of her thoughts. She forced a small smile onto her lips and stepped closer.“I’m making progress now, Lilico,” she said softly, her voice calm but pleading beneath the surface

Taking a deep breath, she gathered her strength and pulled.“Ugh…” she groaned under the effort.Slowly, he rose from the wheelchair, but the moment he stood, his body leaned heavily against her as a sharp pain shot through his waist and legs.“Shit…” he muttered under his breath, trying to suppress the pain.His grip on her tightened instinctively.Ivana looked up at him, and the moment she saw his face, her heart clenched. The pain he was trying so hard to hide was written all over him, and it hurt her to see him struggling like that.He tried to sit back down, but Ivana held him in place.“You can do it, Tardrain,” she said, her voice trembling as tears gathered in her eyes.Tardrain looked down at her, his gaze lingering on the way she held onto him so firmly, her arms wrapped around him as though she was determined not

With a quiet breath, he began rolling himself out of his room, the soft sound of the wheels moving against the polished floor echoing faintly in the silent hallway.He made his way toward the stairs and carefully wheeled himself down, his movements practiced and controlled, showing how used he had become to doing things on his own. Soon, he reached the ground floor and continued heading toward the exit of the mansion.However, just as he was about to move further, he suddenly stopped.Slowly, his head turned toward the direction of Ivana’s room.Mike had told him which room belonged to her, but at that time, he hadn’t paid much attention to it because she was nothing more than an unwanted presence in his life.
